El papel social del periodismo en momentos de Crisis. El tratamiento del suceso de Ayotzinapa en dos diarios Mexicanos

The purpose of this text is to analyze the editorial policy of two Mexican newspapers (La Jornada and El Universal) following the disappearance of 43 Mexican students, enrolled in the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers' College, during the night of September 26, 2014. The editorial columns dealing with this topic and published during the first six months after the event, are analyzed using Grize's argumentative proposal. The results highlight different approaches to the same event in categories such as topic selection, cultural presumptions, sources cited, and evaluative arguments. Taking these differences into account, the text concludes with a reflection on the functions of social journalism.
